According to Beverley Driver Eddy, little has been written about Camp Ritchie, Maryland. Dickenson College retired professor Eddy says in her book “Ritchie Boy Secrets” that on June 19, 1942, the U.S. Army opened a secret military intelligence training center. Over the next four years, it produced some 20,000 graduates, intelligence and language specialists, for service in World War Two. Some of the famous names of men who were Ritchie Boys include J.D. Salinger, former senators John Chafee and Frank Church, David Rockefeller, and Reverend William Sloan Coffin. close
